I just got my G1 back and they replaced my broken scope. So I spend about 2 hours in the desert today doing my best to sight it. No dice!! I don`t think I can pull it off without a bench and clamp or something. Worse of all the man at the gun store that sighted my scope for me before is on vacation for a few weeks. Its been almost a month now since I hit anything ,I just got my G1 back from crosman today(they gave me a brand new one) It had broke July 5th Then I had a tech force 89 .22 that was a lemon I had to send back today. All I want is to be able to hit targets again. it is so darn frustrating!! i honestly don`t think I am capable of sighting a scope and its killing me. In June when my old G1 scope broke,I did my best to sight in a new scope in my backyard,and ended up blowing 100 or so holes in my neighbours garage. That costed me a arm and leg to fix and repaint. This sucks,any advice??

Justa short while ago you were posting pics of 20 downed birds in an hour. What were you using for that? Iron sights? What distance are you using?   Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2009 11:15 pm Midichlorian Veteran Member Joined: 25 May 2009 Posts: 333 Location: Middle of the Desert aircube wrote: What do you mean you can't sight a scope? Justa short while ago you were posting pics of 20 downed birds in an hour. What were you using for that? Iron sights? What distance are you using? I had my scope sighted at a gun shop then. But im in the middle of no where and the guy at that shop that did the sighting is on vacation. Then that gun broke (the g1) and I just got the replacement on friday. Even though the bore sighter was broke. I was able to get it almost sighted today before I took it back. I managed to hit a bottle from 35 feet a few times in a row. I really need a laser bore sighter that will work with .177 though. Im looking on the net for one now,but if someone can point me in the right direction,that would rock. _________________ .22 Benjamin Marauder Join http://airgunspace.ning.com It`s Like Myspace for air gunners!   Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 1:19 am Midichlorian Veteran Member Joined: 25 May 2009 Posts: 333 Location: Middle of the Desert sniper wrote: this is the one i have. http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/LaserLyte_Laser_Bore_Sighter_22_50_caliber/645 Ok I just found the .177- .22 version of this for $42 on ebay with free shipping.

It works great. Gun is sighted in the best it can,still have to aim low over the cross hairs. My scope dial would not turn down anymore. But that works for me as long as I know where on the scope to aim at im good. I shot a tennis ball from 30 feet 5 times in a row so I think im ready to hunt. I put back on the stock G1 center point scope too .. _________________ .22 Benjamin Marauder Join http://airgunspace.ning.com It`s Like Myspace for air gunners!   Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2009 9:52 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho you need a higher set of rings. the scope is too low. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 1:03 am Midichlorian Veteran Member Joined: 25 May 2009 Posts: 333 Location: Middle of the Desert sniper wrote: what happened with the 89/69???????is there a 69?? my first was bad..... they let me keep it for parts.....#2.... so far so good..... do tell!!! chinese are the luck of the draw. to get "on the paper". use a laser bore sight. You first tf89 was bad too? And they let you keep it for parts? Is that what you said, and if so what was wrong with it. On another note the g1 is now dead on I was sighting it from too close 35 yards andits right in the cross. I love this laser sight. _________________ .22 Benjamin Marauder Join http://airgunspace.ning.com It`s Like Myspace for air gunners!
